BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment have announced (to the joy of Mrs. Nerdly may I add – she’s a HUGE fan of the franchise, having played/owned and mastered every game in the series!) that Soulcalibur VI is scheduled to launch in 2018. Following the 20th anniversary of the franchise, the famous weapon based fighting game returns to its roots whilst bringing brand new gameplay features.

Soulcalibur VI has never looked more dynamic or intense with eye popping graphics powered by Unreal Engine 4. Travel through signature 16th century stages and experience the struggle for the two legendary swords using a roster of returning characters along with newcomers! Gameplay has been revamped with the all new Reversal Edge feature allowing players to take balance between attack and defence. Once activated, players can defend against the opponents attack and directly counter with a powerful strike highlighted through a dynamic camera.
